Even after you have learned how to swing a golf club, you have probably realized that hitting shots from the bunker is a slightly different animal.
You often have to position your club and body very differently on a sandshot than on other shots.

However, for an ordinary golfer, a sand trap may turn a probable par into an 8, which is why we need the help from these golf instructional videos.
Watch the how to videos below to learn how improve your sand shot and finally learn how to escape a sand trap or bunker with ease.

How To Escape a Sandtrap or Bunker in Golf: Conclusion
I want to share a sand trap story with you that I recently experienced.
It was a par 5 and, because sometimes I’m able to hit the ball a pretty good distance with my driver, I got greenside in two shots on a 540 yard par 5.
The competition was envious but when we arrived at the green they kind of laughed: “Ah, you’re in the bunker…we’re still in the hole!”
They suggested that they were still in the hole because they’ve seen my bunker play. I was incensed thinking…I’m going to get this ball up and down, birdie this hole, and win all the money.
So what happened?
I hit the ball out of the bunker and it landed in the front yard of a house out of bounds. Now, I’m hitting five out of the bunker and it took me three shots to get down so I end with a 7 instead of a 4 and lost the whole.
Moral of the story: Bunker play is so important — don’t neglect practicing it!
After watching these videos, my bunker play has improved measurably. And, best of all, it’s free to practice at my local range.
